1989 Audi 80 S review from Norway
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes wear down fast.
Digital clock lives its own life.
Carburetor trouble.
Rust (actually) in left front wing, and doors. And that is not by treating it bad.
Left front seat starts to wear.
Blinkers in front falls out.
Rear seat belts fastens.
General comments?
The car seems very solid inside, except the seat upholstery.
It's comfortable and seems very safe to drive, despite it's age. Heels over a bit in tight corners though, and feels rather under-steer.
The car runs very economic at highway driving.I've been down in 0,56L/10km.
In the city it's no so good. 1,1L/10km.
The engine runs good at high speed, but a little noisy over 3000rpm.
Not the most spacious car. Small trunk.
